What? This too? Surprising vegan foods

When you hear the word vegan, many people may imagine only vegetables, beans, and grains. However, in reality, there are a surprising number of foods that are vegan, some of which may make you wonder, "Really?" Here, we will introduce some surprising vegan foods that you will want to try.

1. Oreo Cookies
Good news for those with a sweet tooth: The popular commercial cookie "Oreo" is now vegan, meaning it does not contain any animal ingredients. However, manufacturing methods may differ in some countries, so please check the ingredients label to be sure.

2. Potato chips
Many salty and simple flavored potato chips are vegan-friendly. Organic types, which contain fewer additives, are especially safe to eat. However, cheese and cream flavors may contain animal products, so be careful.

3. Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate has a rich cacao flavor. There are also vegan versions that do not contain milk. It is a sweet with antioxidant properties that is great for health-conscious people.

4. Store-bought bread
We tend to think of bread as made with eggs and butter, but surprisingly, most commercially available French bread is vegan. Some sandwich breads are also vegan. This is because animal ingredients are sometimes omitted in the manufacturing process to reduce costs.

5. Margarine
Margarine is known as a substitute for butter. Some products are made from plant-based oils, so they can be used by vegans. However, some products may contain dairy ingredients, so be sure to check the label.

6. Gelatin-free gummies
For vegans, gummy candy is one of the foods they want to avoid, but recently vegan gummies that use plant-based pectin have appeared on the market, and the texture and taste are just as good as regular gummies.

7. Vegan drinks
Although beer and wine may contain animal ingredients (e.g. gelatin and fish-derived isinglass), there are many vegan options available. In recent years, more and more products are labeled as "vegan certified," making them easier to choose.

Turning your attention to unexpected vegan foods will not only broaden your options, but also allow you to enjoy new discoveries about food. Whether you're vegan or not, giving them a try once may help you take a step toward a more sustainable lifestyle. So why not give "unexpected vegan foods" a try?
